Amazing Views / Great Rooms / Outstanding Service!

September 30, 2021

I have stayed at the Vista multiple times and absolutely love it. It’s cozy, charming, clean and comfortable, with just enough of that old time motel feel. We typically stay in a premium upper floor room which is spacious with a kitchenette, dining table, desk and of course beds, tv, etc. Really everything you need for a short or extended stay. THE VIEWS OF THE OCEAN AND GOOD HARBOR BEACH ARE AMAZING, and it’s great to sit on the balcony and enjoy coffee/wine, read or just get lost in the view. The owner and staff are extremely customer service focused and they always go out of their way to make our stay outstanding. If you don’t have a car or prefer not to drive to downtown or anywhere in Gloucester, be sure to check out the “CATA on Demand” service / app, at only $2/pp per ride (weekdays only). Stay at the Vista, you will not be disappointed.

An Ideal Romantic Oasis

September 29, 2021

Staying here was an absolute dream! My SO and I were enamored with every aspect of our time here. The rooms were clean, spacious, and had the most gorgeous view of Good Harbor Beach, as well as a front patio with two chairs and a lush grassy area! Everything about this motel is simply joyful. The continental breakfast in the mornings provided some of the best coffee cake I’ve ever had, and literally everyone I encountered that worked here was so kind, warm, and professional. The lady that owns the establishment is a joy to be around and has the fluffiest, sweetest dog that greeted us when we checked in! I can’t wait to come back here. Highly, highly recommend!

Anniversary Weekend-Getaway.

You can’t go wrong staying at the Vista. We booked late in the week, but got a great 2nd floor room. Clean, bright, strong Wi-Fi, pleasant staff, and of course the view to the ocean.

The weather defied the forecast and Saturday afternoon provided sunshine and an opportunity to use the pool, which was delightful despite it being late September.

Have stayed at the Vista before, and we’ll be back again…..I wanna’ go now!

As a Gloucester native, the Vista has one of the best proximities and views of Good Harbor Beach. Welcoming staff, clean room, and impeccably kept grounds, highly recommend.

There are beautiful jelly fish on the right side of the ocean just over the bridge. Beach is carry in carry out.

We met the owner, who is a very nice and helpful gentleman.   The location on top  a hill makes for good viewing and picture taking.  They have a pool, but wasn't open for the season , yet.  Our next trip in May, we will enjoy the pool.

The view is lovely. It was not very busy when we were there but there was a nice continental breakfast available.

Les chambres sont beaucoup plus belle en vrai qu’en photo. C’est très propre et l’hôtel est très bien entretenu. La dame qui nous  m’accueillie fut souriante! gentille et très professionnelle.

Excellent staff, family friendly, superb continental breakfast, spaceous rooms for families with kids.  If you are seeking an affordable getaway for a family of five with three younger kids then this is the place to be, including the said eateries I noted,  you will have the most awesome experience here, every stay!
